Leo explained - All About the zodiac sun sign Leo! Dogmatic and intolerant Leo! About Your Sign... The Leo type is the most dominant, spontaneously creative and extrovert of all the zodiacal characters. In grandeur of manner, splendor of bearing and magnanimity of personality, they are the monarch's among humans as the lion is king of beasts. They are ambitious, courageous, dominant, strong willed, positive, independent, self-confident there is no such a word as doubt in their vocabularies, and they are self-controlled. Born leaders, either in support of, or in revolt against, the status quo. They are at their most effective when in a position of command, their personal magnetism and innate courtesy of mind bringing out the best of loyalty from subordinates. They are uncomplicated, knowing exactly what they want and using all their energies, creativeness and resolution to get it, as well as being certain that they will get whatever they are after. Their followers know where they are with Leonians.

Leonians think and act bigger than others would normally dare; the ambitiousness of their schemes and idealism sometimes daunt their followers, their practical hardheadedness and ability to go straight to the heart of any problem reassures those who depend on them. If Leonians meet with setbacks they thrive on the adversity. On the whole they are powers for good, for they are strongly idealistic, humane, and beneficent. They have powerful intelligence and are of a broad philosophical, sometimes religious, turn of mind. Those who are devout may become very obstinate in upholding traditional beliefs and will cling tenaciously, but with complete sincerity, to practices and doctrines which liberal thinkers regard as absurdly out-of-date. These will be found as the 'lions' of industries, and in the forefront of the cutting edge of technologies. Their faults can be as large in scale as their virtues, and an excessively negative Leonian can be one of the most unpleasant human beings imaginable, displaying extreme arrogance, autocratic pride, haughtiness, and excessive hastiness of temper. If jealously suspicious of rivals, they will not hesitate to use cunning, lies and trickery to discredit them.

Self-centeredness, greed for flattery, boastfulness, and bombast, pomposity, snobbish superiority, and overbearing, and intolerant disdain of underlings; to whom they will nevertheless delegate the carrying out of minor details in their grandiose schemes, and from whom they are not above borrowing immoderately if an occasion necessitates it. Any of these can be characteristic of Leo. Add to them a passion for luxury, a lust for power, unlimited sexual lust, and emotional indulgence, and a character emerges that no one would want to know either in public life or private. But their pride may go before a fall, as uncontrolled impetuosity is likely to bring them low. Fortunately it is rare that a Leo is so undisciplined as to give way thoroughly to this list of vices, and their tendencies to them are usually balanced by an innate wisdom. Those who are afflicted with them also have the intelligence it takes to consciously and actively overcome them. In professional life they do well at any vocation at which there is room at the top. As politicians they are content with nothing less than a powerful position in government.

In business they may be the chairman of their company's board, or at least directors or managers. They are excellent organizers and overseers, often laying the groundwork for new projects. If from the artisan ranks of society they will aspire to become the boss, partly because they are ambitious by nature, partly because they dislike manual labor, preferring to take charge of others doing it. If artistic, Leos can become stars of stage or screen (their bent is serious rather than light drama), maestros as musicians where they will gravitate toward the grand instruments or activities, such as the organ or conducting of orchestras and as painters; anything grand in conception and scale appeals to them. Leo women make exceptionally good welfare workers. In his or her relations with others the Leo type is open, sincere, genuine and trusting. Outgoing, spontaneously warm hearted and plain spoken, though never lacking in kindliness, Leos are more disillusioned than the average if let down by those they trust. They are not good judges of character and are inclined to favoritism and an exaggerated faith in their followers which too often ends in disappointment.

They have a strong sex drive and are so attracted to the opposite sex that they find it hard to be constant; they can be so intensely sexual as to become dissolute. They may have numerous love affairs for their love of pleasure and beauty is liable to drive them from one attractive partner to another. They are very much inclined to deceive. Their marriages may fail for the same reason, yet they are sincere and generous to their lovers while love lasts, and will remain attached to their homes so long as it is run for their benefit. They demand service but are incapable of giving it. Possible Health Concerns... Physiologically, Leo governs the upper back, forearms, wrist, spine and heart. Its natives are subject to a number of ailments: pain in the back and lungs, spinal complaints, diseases of the heart and blood, sickness in ribs and sides, convulsions, pleasantries, violent burning fevers including, in former days, when they were prevalent, plague, pestilence, jaundice, and some afflictions of the eyes.

May the Stars shine down their blessings, good fortune and happiness on you! Regards, The Zodiac Sign Aquarius The Astrology of Personality Your key phrase is ‘I progress’, so your challenge is to balance your desire to have progressive and innovative attitudes with the more traditional circumstances in which you find yourself. Culture, tradition and conservative values need to be balanced against your own unique way of seeing things. One of the important lessons for you in this life is that of commitment. For many Aquarians, tying themselves down to a long-term relationship can be scary. Once you experience the joy of that commitment in a mutually supportive relationship you’ll feel so much more empowered as a human being. Because you can be highly strung at times you should spend a little time meditating, especially on Saturdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

This will sooth your emotions, your nerves and also stimulates your spiritual awareness. If you were born under this unique star sign, then the dazzling and progressive planet Uranus rules you. This planet endows you with power, electricity and a desire to be completely different to everyone around you. Some astrologers refer to Uranus as the revolutionary planet and indeed many reformers and revolutionaries were born under this sign. You are a self-sufficient individual and prefer not to tread the beaten path. For you, life and destiny are carved out by yourself and lived wholly and solely on your own terms. You have an enormous amount of energy and are determined and forceful in how you deal with others. At first you are seen as aloof and possibly even snobbish, but you like to assess people and the situation first before showing your hand. In some ways this is a technique for gaining the upper hand in your relationships. You tend to be quite sensitive if others try to take control. This reflects some of your earlier childhood issues at which time you probably found yourself under the stern rule of someone over whom you had no say. As you grow older, you’ll be mindful of this fact and want to be totally in control of your own destiny.

You’ll realise also that not everyone subscribes to your rather different philosophy of life and for this reason you will more than likely have to keep your ambitions in your back pocket until the appropriate time for fear of ridicule. As you get older you’ll be quite comfortable in the company of young people and your tastes tend to grow and change with the times. You’re certainly no stick in the mud even if you have reached middle age or older. Aquarians have a tendency to be drawn to community and social issues so you’ll want to do something that will make a difference in this world. It’s quite possible you’ll be involved in groups and organisations that have a hand in uplifting the less fortunate in society. Charitable work is also not out of the question. There are many famous reformers and helpers of the downtrodden, including Oprah Winfrey, Yoko Ono and, even would you believe, Germaine Greer, who spearheaded the women’s liberation movement back in the ’60s and ’70s. You have good organisational skills and your communication is very sharp. You like to work with others and to express your ideas and come up with unique solutions to problems, both personal and professional.

You like to get to the bottom of things and this is due to your curious and mentally precise insights. Aquarius is an air sign and is notorious for thinking. The mind is your realm and creating through ideas is second nature to you. You relate extremely well to anyone with whom you come in contact, as communication is your forte. You believe we grow through the expression of ideas and helping our fellow man. You’ll continue to evolve as a human being throughout your life and this is the one thing that truly fires you up. You’re not afraid of challenges and, when arguing a point, are most impressive due to your background knowledge. Again, you are not conventional in the way you study, live or present your ideas but others will have to give you credit for your originality. Uranus is also abrupt and thrilling by nature so your life will never be dull. In fact, if you are like many Aquarians and examine your life, you’ll see it has been full of thrills and spills. Unexpected and surprising events will occur at every step of your path. Your far-reaching attitude sometimes overwhelms your friends and family members and people see you as rather flamboyant, if not harmlessly mad. Your approach to love and relationships is also fairly quirky.

You don’t like anything conventional and prefer people who are a little different, as long as they can mentally stimulate you. Anything but boredom, you say. Eleventh sign of the zodiac; fixed, barren, masculine, dry Zodiac Element Detached, progressive, humane, intellectual, flamboyant, sympathetic, and unpredictable.

Uranus, the dazzling and progressive planet, rules you and endows you with power electricity and a desire to be completely different to everyone around you.

Many reformers and revolutionaries were born under this sign. Aquarius is the fixed air sign of the zodiac. Air represents the mind and the ability to think. Aquarian ideas may be unusual, or even original, but once formed they tend to remain fixed. Fixed air, in brief, is a metaphor for fixed opinions. You live wholly and solely on your own terms and your life and destiny is carved out by you and for you. Preferring to tread the beaten path is not on your agenda at all and you leave that to less adventurous individuals. There can be someone tucked away inside you who is extremely uncertain of his or her true identity. The Aquarius ego is said to be the most precarious in the zodiac, probably because Aquarius is the sign of non-conformity. Intellectual genius, practical eccentricity and mental oddity are all linked with Aquarius. googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1427450087413-1');}); You are determined and forceful in how you deal with others but at first can come across as somewhat aloof or even snobbish.

You like to assess people and the situation first before laying down your cards and in some ways this is a technique for gaining the upper hand in your relationships. In your childhood you may have found yourself under the stern control of someone over whom you had no say. This leaves you quite sensitive if other try to take control and as you grow older you'll be mindful of this fact. You have quite a different philosophy on life than most others and you'll realize this quite early on in your life. You will tend to keep your dreams and ambitions tucked away in a secret place until you feel it is time to bring them out into the light for fear of being ridiculed. Even as you age you'll be quite comfortable in the company of young people and you may be drawn to community and social issues involving youth workers. You want to make a difference in this world as you have quite a social conscience and may even work with groups or organizations that have a hand in uplifting the less fortunate in society. googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1427450087413-1');}); Your communication is very sharp and you relate extremely well to anyone with whom you come into contact.

Unexpected and exciting events will occur at every step of your pathway throughout life. If someone were to describe your day to day existence they would probably say that it was full of thrills and spills. Conventional is a word you really don't want in your vocabulary Aquarius and boredom is not a feeling you want in any shape or form. Your approach to love and relationships is pretty quirky, as long as you are mentally stimulated. Once tediousness appears on the horizon, you are running to book a ticket out of there, wherever you may be. Aquarius Cusps Aquarius - Capricorn cusp 'Diametrically opposed' is the best way to describe the signs of Aquarius and Capricorn . If you're born in the cuspal interval which is the overlap of the two signs that is from the 19th till the 26th of January you partake of some of the elements of the preceding sign of Capricorn. Having an Aquarius and Capricorn blend of energies as your star sign can present you with some difficult problems.

You will desperately want to progress, move forward and be so different but will find the Aquarius element dragging you back into a mode of conservatism therefore you probably experience a lot of inattention. You want to be progressive in every aspect of your life and love change but find the Capricorn side of your nature dragging you back into a mode of conservatism. On the one hand you want to forge forward with new ideas, but also hold fast to traditional ideals as well. You'll be constantly mindful of the financial burden that this could place on you if you don't have the financial resources to do this. Finding a delicate balance will be part of your life's challenge. Your mind and the way you relate to people will also be in a constant tug - of - war. At times you will want to give the other person the shirt off your back, generously helping them whenever and in any way you can as it is obviously a typically Aquarian trait. But the Capricorn in you will persistently be mindful of the consequences and brings with it a greater degree of reluctance to impulsively give away everything. What I would say to you Aquarius is that you shouldn't fight with this set of diametrically opposed personality traits.

In fact I think by accepting both star signs' qualities you will be in a position to be successful, secure, which is the Aquarius ideal yet at the same time capable of progressing and achieving your humanitarian ideals at the same time. This is great as you have the best of both worlds. Aquarius - Pisces Cusp Pisces is the sign which follows Aquarius and if you happen to be born in that period of time between the 19th and 26th of February you exhibit the traits of both Aquarius and the sign of the fish, Pisces . Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac and is often represented karmically as the last stage of human evolution. Pisceans exhibit a strong emotional and spiritual quality to their personalities and therefore you possess the intellectual and discriminative brilliance of your Aquarian sun sign with the added flavour of this intuitive and psychic connection that is brought to you by the cusp of Pisces. One quality both star signs share is the desire to help others.

Aquarius is somewhat rational in its planning and approach to the type of help that it can render whilst Pisces is more selfless and giving in the truest spiritual tradition of sacrifice as in the Christian schools of thought which of course are symbolised by the fish. Please take care not to delude yourself into giving for the sake of giving. You must always exercise your Aquarian discrimination to qualify who is worthy of your help and who is simply a hanger - on. Giving to those that are worthy is the name of the game and I'm pleased to say that having the balance of Aquarius will help you make the right choices in providing assistance and new systems of thought to individuals and society at large. This is an excellent cusp to be born in. The secret of understanding yourself if you are born in this period is to overcome your fear of the unknown. Aquarius will tear apart the attitudes and fixed opinions that you may have about the way things are and the way things should be.

The fear of letting go will be challenged by the planet Uranus and if you are able to overcome this inner tension and apprehension about what is likely to happen if you experience and live your life based upon your heart rather than your head, you will grow and develop in leaps and bounds. But again, I stress that this can only take place if you are prepared to break free of your own concepts and those conventional standards by which you have continued to live for so long. Having the influence of Aquarius makes you original in thought, lateral in your decision making and a quirky individual to say the least. People enjoy your company because you are able to present that traditional side of life but often throw a spanner in the works when you exhibit this other rather unusual facet of your personality. You will always keep people guessing. Aquarius At Large January 21 - 31 As an Aquarian born between the 21st and 31st January your attitude is very much inventive and research orientated. You love to have the most up to date gadgetry in your hands and like nothing better than to have the latest release of a computer, mobile phone or anything else that has just come on the market.

Communication with the rest of the world and entertainment is what grabs your interest. February 1 - 9 Being born between the 1st and 9th February may mean that your friends have a hard time keeping up with you as you evolve so rapidly that it makes their head spin. Then there will be others who will try to hold you back from your headlong rush to conquer the world. There's an old saying that you might want to keep in mind which says "think as you like, but act like others" and this may be necessary if your ways are just a little too hard for people to keep up with. February 10 - 18 If you are born between the 10th and 18th February you may come across as being detached and even insensitive but you actually deeply care for your fellow man. A very diverse group of friends and associates will be attracted to you and will live life with the view to exploring every aspect of relationships with the ultimate goal of a more enlightened view of the world and yourself. Aquarius Child An Aquarian child has a unique temperament, sometimes complex but certainly extraordinary. This child is curious but at the same self-willed and they will challenge you at every opportunity.

You will need to be particularly shrewd in raising them and may feel at times that a degree in psychology would be a very handy thing to have ready for those difficult moments when they arrive. They need delicate handling by their parents as getting them to do something on your terms can become a monumental problem. You may eventually learn that to get something done, you are the one who will do most of the compromising to fit in with their unusual way of seeing and doing things. If an Aquarian child digs their heels in you may never get the task done at all and this is where your psychological skills will come into play. They are sensitive and intuitive and on the surface may appear to be outwardly calm, relaxed and delightful but in a moment they can rebel against commands and rules. The young Aquarian can often look more confident than they actually are so parental understanding and genuine encouragement are needed. Like any child Aquarius needs love, especially in the form of respect, listening, appreciation and friendship. They are adventurous and being eccentric and explosive they are likely to have their fair share of thrills and spills with the associated bumps and scratches that go along with this. It is a wise parent who keeps an eye on where they are and who they are with.

Although they tend to have a large circle of friends they may find it difficult to establish a close relationship. They tend to be detached and dispassionate and don't like too many emotional demands being placed upon them. They are inventive and like to get to the bottom of how things work. Toys such as electronic sets, laboratory games and brain teasing puzzles are all excellent choices for them. Unusual and novel games and will keep them occupied and help them develop their inquisitive minds. As they grow older their minds will also develop at an amazing speed so you need to continually offer them challenges. You may find that they don't quite fit into the average suburban school and in this case you may need to consider what alternatives are available to give them the best chance of developing their skills. Aquarius Lover You're constantly restless, seeking innovation and an element of excitement in all that surrounds you. This tendency becomes your defining trait in relationships. You like to test the waters and have many relationships over a long period of time. It's almost like a litmus test to rule out the wrong partners before settling down with someone you love. However, your compassionate self soon comes to the fore, preventing you from toying with relationships for too long.

Your preliminary romantic engagements all pave the way towards a committed love that endures and blossoms beautifully. My benchmark for a real love affair is my Aunt Mary, an Aquarian who is blissfully savouring the joys of her nearly sixty years of marriage. Regrettably, many make generalisations about their lack of commitment and hunger for adventure, and they deem them less credible or dependable as prospective romantic partners. However, this is definitely untrue. Aquarius's passion can't be reduced to generalisations, not even in astrology books. Your fifth zone of love affairs is ruled by the child-like, lively and occasionally superficial Gemini and Mercury. This lends a playful disposition and casualness when it comes to exploring romantic possibilities. Love is a voyage for you, and to sustain a commitment, it is critical that your partner remains mentally buoyant and interested. Mercury bestows you with the ability to blend in, remain youthful at heart, and have a curious mind, even in your nineties. For you to appreciate a relationship and hold it close to your heart, you'll need to keep it alive through adventure, fun and oodles of chatter. Leo and the Sun preside over the marriage sector of your zodiac.

To comprehend the true implication of this, get to know Leo. For the uninitiated, Leo is one of the most loyal and trusted star signs, armed with an unflinching ego. Quite naturally, you radiate an instant reverence towards people with strong identities who are ready to take on the world. Despite the fact that you, Aquarius, want the freedom to engage in a multitude of non-sexual friendships, your partner needs to be extremely loyal. You want your spouse to be an equal. They must unchain you from the stress of having to be accountable for each and every move, giving you ample freedom to creatively explore your intellectual and social pursuits, which are so ingrained in your nature. If you find such a relationship, you are more than willing to stand by their side and support their goals as well. Benevolent Aquarius Youhave aunifying effect onyour relationships andfriendships, andyoucreate asense of togetherness among the people connected to you. This establishes agroup consciousness, whichis very typical of Aquarians. Your benevolence reveals itself majestically, bothon asocial andpersonal level.

Youhave aspirit of oneness withyour chosenone, andyoupour all of your love towards ensuring the prosperity of that relationship. Interestingly, your familial zone of activities is governed by the fixed sign of Taurus, which is earthy, traditional and balanced. At the end of the day, regardless of your idiosyncrasies and progressive thought process, you subconsciously desire stability and an element of conventionality when it comes to your family and loved ones. You want to raise a happy family and nurture each relationship personally. Aquarius Friend Aquarius is the eleventh sign of the zodiac, and it is the natural zone of friendship, sociability and innate humanity. This makes you instinctively friendly at heart, and you have the ability to effortlessly bond with strangers and friends alike. You're so impartial that you're often the first to initiate companionship or break the ice. However, it's not as simple as it seems. Your motivation for engaging in friendships extends beyond the simple idea of having a good time. You also befriend others because you feel responsible for their wellbeing, and so you reach out to as many people as possible to be of support to them.

You like to believe that your reasoning and detailed research can offer much-needed insight in a situation. However, withhold your advice until it is genuinely solicited. Instead, be a listener as there could be people as aware and confident as you, and they may not appreciate the candour with which you dissect their lives. You may be considered detached and impassive in your social circle, and although this may be true to a certain extent, it actually makes you a better friend. You have the ability to soak all negativity and stress from friends, and you don't stifle them with your judgment. However, you are strongly defensive and rarely thaw in the presence of others. Of course, you may want to keep your fears unseen and veiled, but sometimes you need to put your rationality aside and let your guard down. The more you share your insecurities and thoughts, the more your relationships and friendships will prosper. Because you are an air sign, your mind is in a constant state of flux. This has a direct effect on your friendships as you like to shield yourself from boredom and monotony. To do so, you seek intellectual instead of emotional bonding. In your case, however, a mental connection signals better emotional understanding.

Your conversations, too, focus on your interests, such as history, philosophy and scientific discoveries. The strongest friendships in your life are ones in which you share similar interests. Overall, you seek devotedness, trust and a progressive mind that can intellectually stimulate and creatively engage. At the same time, you like to feel supported in your endeavours. Aquarius Enemy As an enemy, you're an enigma, Aquarius. You avoid confrontations and prefer to take your grievances to someone else rather than facing the person in question. However, if your attempts at communication and understanding are met with resistance, the Uranus in you sparks off a violent outburst, pushing you into reclusiveness until you can breathe again. Owing to the strong influence of Uranus, I'd strongly advice people to be mindful of your temperament. You can be unusually abrupt, volatile and unforgiving. When used and pushed too far, you're definitely not one to walk away. Rather, you explode with unimaginable ferocity, and your words have the ability to hurt others deeply. This often comes as a rude shock, and it makes them realise what can happen when they take your friendship for granted. Try to mellow out and calm your nerves.

Your overzealousness may cause confrontations, and you could find yourself with a dwindling number of friends. If you obstinately hold on to your beliefs and viewpoints, you will rub people the wrong way and turn your best friends into staunch enemies for life. My Light and Shadow The Light and Shadow The light and the dark are part of human nature and each star sign exhibits this polarity. It is the yin and yang of life and once we confront these shadowy areas within ourselves the sooner we are able to break free of all self limiting behaviours and habits. Aquarius: The light side Your effervescent personality is a result of your ruling planet Uranus. You radiate a very high vibration that attracts others to you. People are deeply impressed when they meet you and want to be your friend because you tend to be impartial in the way you treat everyone—whether high or low. As an Aquarian you have a generous nature and like the idea of helping others. I mentioned earlier that it's likely at some point in your life you'll be attracted to charitable or social work. In your personal life you have to be careful not to allow relationships to become your 'charitable work'.

Even here you have a tendency to go the extra mile to do whatever you can to lift others out of their problems. Although you have a progressive approach to philosophy and religion, you do patiently listen and take in what others say, even if it's different to your viewpoints. You're loyal and big hearted and your loved ones know they can rely on you because you live your philosophy, not just talk it. Sincerity and straightforwardness are some of your greater assets and is always evident in your advice, which, although not typical, is always practical. You are a most spontaneous person and having you around will never bore others. You like to push beyond the status quo and this is your way of improving yourself and, if others are ready, to help them as well. You love the idea of breaking down the old to create the new. Aquarius: The shadow side There's a difference between sticking to your guns and wilfully and obstinately refusing to budge. At times your opinions are inflexible, and although you do have quick wit and a brilliant ability to see beyond the 'norm', you must learn to accept that there are other viewpoints, other ways of looking at the situation.

Try not to let your pride get in the way of your relationships. You have an element of spontaneity that is not always in your or other's best interests. You can be rebellious in your impromptu action and your desire to innovate and shock may put others at odds with you. You need to think things through, particularly with respect to the impact that your actions will have on others emotionally. There's no problem exploring life and changing things, as long as you don't do it in a way that is abrupt and disrespectful. Try to exercise more balance in your life and use your wonderful powers of transformation in a way that doesn't unsettle others.

Acting is particularly common to this sign because it allows them to put aside their fears and take on the mantle of someone quite different. They are shy and slow to make friends but when they do accept someone, they are the loyalist, gentlest and kindest of companions. They are great company and have a wonderful sense of humour. Virgo at Work If you need something done right, you’ll do it yourself.
